To conquer the Conference League: “We lived great times, in Greece. Together with our world. It was a great time. Conquering the Youth League is just as important. Something that no European team has achieved. It was done after years of organizing. We had made big wins in the past against big opponents. The players had to believe it. Everyone had to be believed by the guard, the cleaner, the players. to the coach. “

For when she thought something big is coming: “You have to believe it, because you think you can do it. You have a good team a good coach. It takes faith, effort and luck. All this if you think you have them, it is good to believe it. When I was saying that Olympiacos could get a European title, many were not taking us seriously, as Christian Carebe used to say. But it was better you know, since your opponents don’t count you much. But now we have done it and it is a fact that we have won two European trophies. “

For the Conference League Night: “In the night we won the Conference League we saw 2,000,000 people coming out on the streets. They were Greek proud, celebrating for Greece. We saw it when we sent the cups to cities in Greece and abroad. They went to take pictures, touch it and kiss it. Certainly many young people were not Olympians. All parts of Olympiacos lead in Europe. It is very good for the youth to see athletes in Europe. It is important to follow sports. To see that they can conquer peaks. “

They help you if you want to get involved in the future. “

For his first memory by Olympiacos: “It’s when my father had brought me to the court. I don’t remember if I was five or six years old. We had won and it was a given then. It was an obligation for Olympiacos to win and give joy to her world. “

For his favorite players from the time when his father, Miltiadis Marinakis, was in the administration: “Galakos and cotton. I was watching him from a young age. Then he was playing center forward and then established himself as a left back. It was a very good team, with players that I all winners. “
